As we age, our dental health needs change. Older patients have unique and challenging dental health needs. There is a vital connection between our patients maintaining a healthy body and a healthy mouth. Geriatric dentistry includes the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of dental decay, gum disease, and oral lesions.

Feeling good, staying healthy, and looking great thought-out life can be dependent on the health and condition of the mouth.

To help keep your teeth for a lifetime, senior patients especially should establish healthy oral habits at home, make smart choices about their diet, and lifestyle, and see a dentist on a regular basis for dental care.

Teeth are important for speech, chewing of food and a great smile. Ask us at Chares Stavely DMD how we can help you have healthy teeth and gums for a lifetime.
